Good morning!!!!

[mkr7734]

Good morning from a roughed up North Bluff. 76 heading to 88 no rain.

Fun few days up north and I am glad I left. I went north after the mini tornado we had here on Wednesday night. We did okay but the 2 neighbors houses got hit and in Seneca 4 high power towers from the nuke plant got knocked down or twisted up like pretzels and a farm down the road about a mile lost all of their out buildings and bins.
The people down the lane had half dozen of their church people or people they knew over there yesterday and they still did not get much done. Most were looking at the others to see how to get out of doing anything. :laughing: Blue tarp over the hole in the house roof. I took all of the junk on the driveway and picked it up that they were just driving over. His shed out behind the house is flat.

Wife and I have lots of down tree trash to pick up before I can mow so that is the plan for today. She spent the time I was gone helping the other neighbor who got hit clean up their place. You can see a trench through the tree tops in their woods where the twister ripped the tops off of the trees as it came over. We were lucky it was not worse. Brain got good use out of his new Grapple on the BobCat.

Neighbor Butch came over last night and gave me some post was Lionel train stuff for watching his place when he was gone. No number on the steamer and no tender for it so I don't know what it is, but the passenger set is a 616-617-618 Flying Yankee Streamline Train Set from the 30s that needs a lot of work in the motor. I will need to post a picture of the steamer to see if some guys on the train forum can ID it.
Best get going.
Have a good day.
I will have to catch up later, too much to do here for now.

Kyle, that's one very special memory.

Don. That's a lot of washing. Hope you found where it was deposited.

Someone downstream has a new sand beach. It's not on my property anymore.

Another 10ft deep of erosion before the red clay appears. If I can't stop the erosion, the pond will drain out, but it will take another spring rain like we just had before the erosion creeps to the lip of the pond which is about 50 yards away.

Ed, my EGO hedge trimmer was delivered Saturday and yesterday I went through two batteries, I love it also. My Ego collection now also includes the weed eater, mower, and blower. I think the only thing left is the chainsaw.

Good morning, Sunny heading to the high 90s.

I have a mower, weed eater, blower and 3 chain saws. Don't think I will get any Ego replacements for them as they are all in great shape. Ed

Good evening all. 77F and partly cloudy this morning before heading to 97F (forecast was for 93) and moderate wind. 55% chance of showers with .01 inch accumulation actal was .8 in and we needed it. Got the lawn mowed before the rain, and covered the boat as well, take it out tomorrow or Wednesday. Got some consulting in need to deal with one sever that has become grid -locked.

Good morning. 20 lambs off to market before the rain came, so life was feeling pretty good this morning (ignoring the minor stuff, such as the UK financial market almost collapsing and the value of the pound plummeting to record low levels) as I caught up on TBN, only to find I have unintentionally upset Kev.
:confused3:

I simply share a few thoughts over breakfast and I enjoy this start to the day. With not being together, you don't get to see me nod my head, or smile, or whatever other expression is on my face as I read what you have done or are planning to do, so the usual human feedback is just not there. I feel I ought to tell Kev that his post about the tornado was fascinating (we very rarely have tornados in the UK) and would certainly have had a few words about that, but too late now he has gone. So to everyone else, I would simply like to say, if you do have a minute or two to spare each day, or whenever, please keep going.

68 this morning high of 87 later big storms all around yesterday but never got us here. Once the sun comes up will check rain gauge but my guess around one half inch. Quiet weather until Thursday

Ed the hedge trimmer I use is a gas powered stihl oldie but goodie

Coffee is done brewing. 64° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to mainly cloudy skies and no rain. Another causal day.
mkr, not sure what your problems are. Hope you get feeling better soon.
Good Morning All.

 

[Thomas]

64F cloudy sky low 80's for high,chance shower maybe thunder boomer later afternoon.
Brooks and streams taking hard...low water,but hay fields are doing real well.

Enjoy the day all.

72 and humid here, too, Gator. Feel drenched after feeding the birds and playing Frisbee. Should hit 85.

Kyle, I think Ninja Turtle power helped your son catch that fish.

 

[Ed of all trades]

Good morning all. 66 here this am going to 85 with a 20% chance of thunder storms. Had a pretty good storm here yesterday afternoon. Had to drive through up to 6" of water to get home and about 5 or 6 places with less than that. No big deal it makes life interesting. Hope to get the mulching kit for the X310 today and get it installed. Should not be hard, and then get the grass mowed.

To me Good Morning is Just a quiet place to Hang out with my "friends". I have never met anyone of you but you give me a place to go and hang out. Having a family member in the house with Autism means I can't have friends over to hang out. It would bring to much stress, so I hang out here. I don't know what mkr's stresses are but I can look back and see that He had a big event and he wanted to share it with us, his friends and we missed it and I for one am sorry. I hope you change your mind and do come back. You add flavor to the blend of the good morning stew.

Kile Thanks for the pic. I sure got a big long smile out of it.

Good morning! 73˚ sunny, a hot 90 something day. We are at least staying out of the 100s where air feels like you just opened an oven door.

Sometimes my head is spinning after I catch up and read all the interesting, sad and happy events happening to all of us. Responses to posts are not required on the Morning thread, and not expected, otherwise I would have been kicked off long ago. In fact the only requirement is to be nice, and polite because it is too early for conflict and not a good way to start the day. If you feel mad in the evening don't post, you will feel better in the morning.

Kyle I see your son has his snake boots on.

73 this morning and headed to 92 today. Two tenths of rain yesterday. Just enough to soften the crust on my garden for the green bean emergence.

More chicken coop maintenance. Have someone coming this morning to measure the bathroom and the new baby room for flooring. Then I need to get the cows worked and moved.

The good morning thread is my social time. I get up everyday and see my wife and son. Some days I have an employee, but other than that I get to talk to 100,000 chickens and 20 cows. Now the cows do answer sometimes but I don't understand the moo's. I usually figure it out when they roll up to the feeder. Oh they want grain. I enjoy the conversation even if it doesn't follow topic. What is the topic of this thread? Weather? Oh and weather reports from all across the country. Now that's interesting. Like I now know to stay out of Vermont during the winter and just not visit Texas. If you don't drown or have a heat stroke something will eat or bite you. .

Special times Kyle. I have the same type of memories with my dad.

Good morning.

74.2F and sunny @ 09:00 ... high today is predicted to 75F with clouds and a chance of rain. I'm betting we'll beat it ... but can probably still leave the AC off and just open up the house.

Will spend at least part of today inside ... doing "fun stuff" (sarcasm) ...
